I'm pretty sure I want to be in the programming aspect, IE C#, Blitz Plus (2 days of blitz plus and I made a game where you had to collect/kill a thing that shot at you, randomly, took 3 hours and all the other kids took months to make such a thing) I seem to be pretty good at programming, because it seems to use pretty much logic.
What ways would be good to make myself stand out with programming? Design a spectatular game? Create a program with huge potential?(Sorry for delayed responses, I've been busy)
I also agree, it's not quantity that matters, but quality. If you wish to make a awesome program/game you need to focus and put all the effort you can into it, and then fix any mistakes you've made, and if you can, add to it, remove things if they're not good ideas, and essentially just improve it.
I'm currently working on a rather ambitious project right now and since I am part of the creator's club on XNA I can publish my game and make a profit.
You don't have to take my route but I would say make the craziest, coolest, funnest game you can muster in your programming knowledge then test it, if something is wrong fix it, mold it, repeat. Make this game flawless and let the world see your master piece and see if anyone would want to buy it. I know of a good friend who is currently making a Marathon style game with updated graphics to make it look modernI'd rather make a game that's more along the lines of fun, simple, yet tons of options, and enjoyable to any of the age groups so anyone can enjoy it.
